Eats to be Eaten

I am starting a list of places I want to eat. All are in Sacramento unless otherwise noted.

Compleat:

Mr. Pickles (3200 Folsom Blvd. or 1420 65th St.) - eaten 7/15/06. We chose the 3200 Folsom Blvd. location -- the former site of Merlino's Freeze. My sandwich (#12) was huge and tasty. Chris had the #13 (the "Mr. Pickles") and seemed to have a similar reaction, although they forgot to put avocado on it, which is pretty lame. Maybe they'd given up serving avocado after the News & Review's use of the word "unctuous" in their review of the place. Although a meaning of "unctuous" is "buttery", the more common usage is to describe a smarmy person. So perhaps they misinterpreted. We even shared a small orange Merlino's freeze for dessert. Yummy!

Andiamo, before it closes (at the end of May)! - eaten 5/20/06. I don't mind that it's closing.

Nopalitos, eaten 5/3/06. Really good! I had the Tinga Chicken Tostada, for the record. (5530 H St.)

~~New Thai place in the old KFC building on J Street~~ Siam Restaurant, eaten on 3/25/2006. Review: I had the Siam Rolls and the Pad Ginger Chicken. Really good, lots of subtle flavors. Food and service much better than Thai Basil's. (3672 J St.)

Greek Village Inn, eaten 3/25/2006. Really tasty, especially the saganaki ("opa!" has finally been heard in Sac!). But it's a tad too expensive to put in regular rotation. Maybe we'll check out the lunch sometime. (65 University Ave at Howe)

Gotta say, I like the sound of "Mr. Pickles."

Is the Wienery the place in the corner Black Cat off of H St. and Elvas? It's a pretty traditional hot dog joint. Needless to say, I like it a lot.
